Summary of the policy
Internationalisation is of great and increasing importance for Karolinska Institutet's (KI) research and education, both strategically, operationally, and financially. In Strategy 2030, one of three strategic choices is that KI should be a global university, and according to the strategy, KI needs to strive for deep and long-term strategic partnerships with foreign higher education institutions and organisations. Strategy 2030 also states that the choice of strategic partnerships should be made through a proactive and transparent process. This policy has been developed within the framework of an assignment regarding strategic partnerships (dnr 1-87/2021). The assignment was part of the KI-wide business plan for Strategy 2030. A policy expresses the overall intention of the management and is not formally binding but establishes the framework for certain conduct.
